Santa traditionally navigates the frosty night skies December 24th without using a compass or a chart to plot his course. He, in his sleigh pulled by nine reindeer, usually lands on slippery sloped roofs. Clumsily, with his big bag heaped with toys and slung over his shoulder, he jumps down chimney and dumps toys under Christmas trees. Gifts often include a doll for a little girl or a train for a little boy. He does all of this without disturbing the inhabitants. Santa then crawls vertically back up the chimneys and, without a trace, flies off, exclaiming the resounding phrase, Merry Christmas to all, good night. He is back at his home at the North Pole before dawn on Christmas morning, tired but very happy after his very speedy sweep around the world. After a big yawn, Santa falls asleep.

　　根据传说，圣诞老人在12月24日深夜，在寒冷的夜空飞翔，不用使用指南针或者地图来计划他的路线。他坐在由九头驯鹿拉着的雪橇上，在通常很滑的斜屋顶上降落。他笨拙地扛着一个装满玩具的大口袋，从烟囱里跳下来，把玩具倒在圣诞树下。礼品中常常有送给小女孩的一个洋娃娃，或送给小男孩的一辆小火车。他无声无息地做着这一切，然后垂直向上从烟囱里爬回去，不留一点痕迹，飞走时大声地说着那句人们熟知的话：祝大家圣诞快乐，晚安。在圣诞节清晨破晓之前，他回到在北极的家里。在全世界快速飞奔了一夜，很疲倦却非常愉快。打了一个大呵欠后，圣诞老人就睡着了。
